Filler injections are one of the most preferred medical aesthetic procedures for skin rejuvenation and beautification. With advancing age, melting and thinning in the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue can cause tissue loss in the face. However, filling applications are used to restore the lost volume and fullness of the face and reduce wrinkles while providing the skin with a fresh appearance.
These substances, which offer different solutions for each region and are generally based on hyaluronic acid, are used on the face where aging is most pronounced. Wrinkles, aging of the skin, and defects in facial contours are removed with filler and a healthier appearance is given to the skin. The filler applied under the skin supports the lower layers of the skin and ensures that the wrinkles or depressions are filled and invisible.

A Painless and Practical Application
Filler applications that do not require surgery are easy to apply, have immediate results and do not have serious side effects, and all stand out as one of the most practical methods in facial rejuvenation today. Fillers can be divided into three groups as temporary, semi-permanent and permanent. Among these, temporary, fusible, "hyaluronic acid" containing fillers are frequently used. The reason for this is that permanent fillers can have obvious side effects. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule found in large quantities in the body. While it was produced from animal origin in the past, today it is less likely to cause allergies and rashes because it is obtained from bacteria thanks to advanced technology. 1 gram of hyaluronic acid can hold 6 litres of water. Since the fillers are in liquid form, they can be easily applied with the help of an injector. When the filler is applied to any area, it is not possible to remove it from that area.

Fillers Vary Depending on the Area of Application
There are varieties of hyaluronic acid with different molecular sizes and cross-linking amounts to be injected into different regions and for varying purposes. The area where it will be applied and the depth to be injected in the skin are different according to the intended use. For example, when using highly crosslinked and high molecular sized products to obtain volume in the cheekbone area, products that are less cross-linked with more fluid vitamins are preferred to remove dark circles under the eyes. For this reason, it is of great importance that filling applications are performed by specialist and by experienced doctors.

Advantages of Fillers Containing Hyaluronic Acid

• It is an organic and natural substance found in the body. It does not cause allergies since it is not of animal origin.
• Can be applied quickly and without preparation. 20-30 minutes is enough for the procedure.
• More than one problem can be solved in one session by using different products for different regions at the same time.
• It can be injected using very small needles. Its effects last for 8-12 months. This time may vary depending on the application area and the product used.
• It is naturally broken down and destroyed by the body over time. Therefore, when it is no longer desired, it goes away naturally.

How Is Facial Filling Performed?
The application of facial fillers is quite simple and effortless. For this, the specialist must first examine your face and determine the areas to be filled.

Pain relievers are added to some products in order to avoid pain during application. Apart from this, it is ensured that the application is painless by using nerve blocks before the application, like those used in pain relief creams or during dental treatment.

Then, with very fine needles, the filling material is injected under the tissue in the required amount and the desired volume is achieved. Although there might be slight swelling for a few days after the procedure, this lasts for a very short time. As the process is repeated, its permanence increases and thus the intervals between sessions become longer.

Areas of Use for Face Fillers
Fillers are most often used in the facial area. Apart from that, it is possible to use it for hand, breasts or many areas in the body where volume is desired. Thanks to facial filling procedures, fine wrinkles, dimples, mild or moderate nose-rim lines can be filled, and this procedure is preferred for non-obvious wrinkles in every part of the face. It is also frequently applied to correct asymmetry in the nose area. Another place where face filling is frequently used is lips.

With age, there is a significant loss of volume, especially in the cheek area, and this results in a tired appearance. With filling procedures, cheekbones can be clarified or reduced as required by the face. However, it takes great focus and expertise to perform the filling applications that will increase the volume of the cheekbone.

Due to today's stressful and busy life pace, bruises and rings that can be seen around the eyes as well other indicators of middle age can be fixed with under-eye light fillings. The hyaluronic acid in the filling material contains additional vitamins and minerals, on top of the purpose of giving volume all while providing the nourishment and rejuvenation to the skin. Thanks to repeated applications, the skin colour begins to lighten and the hollow area around the eyes begins to fill, and the desired appearance is obtained in this way.
